Chapter Text
The migrating fight of Gohan and Recoome had finally come to a stop on a Namekian isle miles away from Frieza’s ship. The two fighters had cancelled their energy volley before rushing at each other, trading blow after blow in burst zone combat. Between the two, Recoome was stronger and larger whereas Gohan had speed and agility, plus his smaller size made it easier to avoid Recoome’s melee attacks.
Gohan ducked under a hand chop from Recoome and retaliated with a headbutt to his torso, but Recoome’s endurance allowed him to quickly retaliate with a kick to Gohan’s face which sent him flying. Gohan shook off the pain and rebounded his feet off the ground back toward his opponent while forming a ki blast in the palm of his hand. He threw it directly at Recoome’s head, engulfing the brute’s face in a cloud of dust, releasing a yelp of pain. Gohan landed on the ground to catch his breath, until eventually the dust cleared and revealed to the boy’s shock that his opponent was still standing! Recoome’s face had been singed, his scouter blown off, and his hair had been scorched, leaving it at half length from where it used to be. Despite the visible damage, Recoome couldn’t help but snicker…
“Nice shot kid! Now it’s my turn!” Recoome chuckled with a maniacal smirk before charging at Gohan again and punched him away. The yellow brute was thrilled at how much stronger the Half-Saiyan had grown since last time. Recoome also noticed that Gohan was even stronger than Vegeta was when the yellow brute had fought him earlier, and was excited that this unknown Saiyan kid was providing an even greater challenge than the Saiyan Prince did.
Gohan cried out in pain as Recoome’s last punch sent him flying again, but his expression quickly turned to rage before flipping over to recover, and then fired his signature attack at the brute, “MASENKO-HAAA!”
Recoome saw the incoming attack and dodged, causing it to explode into the hill behind him at impact. Coming up on Gohan’s left side, Recoome pulled back a fist and prepared to attack, “RECOOME…SMASH!”
Gohan was embedded into the ground with that heavy blow, and the young Half-Saiyan let out another cry of pain as it radiated through his little body. Gohan trembled as he ached from the pain and exertion, unsure of how much longer he could keep this up. He pushed himself up with his arms to turn up and glare at Recoome, who was grinning idiotically as usual. Both of his shoulder guards had been broken off, and his lower guards as well as the main body of his armor had a lot of visible cracks in them, the biggest being the one Gohan had inflicted at the start of their fight. Despite the visible damage to his armor and body, the Ginyu Forcer looked like he could go ten more rounds!
“Alright kid, are you ready for this?” Recoome taunted before jumping into the air while pulling back his right hand and his left arm across his body. He gathered energy into his hands before releasing another technique, “RECOOME…BOMBER!”
Recoome released a frenzy of purple energy shots directly at the young Half-Saiyan, and Gohan reacted quickly to evade the incoming shower. It was frustrating as the yellow brute didn’t relent, and continued to chase Gohan around the isle with his energy shower attack, heavily damaging the ground with every shot. Gohan managed to stay ahead of the attack, until Recoome suddenly cancelled it and surprised his opponent once again…
“RECOOME…SACK!” Recoome instantly charged on Gohan’s right side, heavily tackling the young Half-Saiyan and sending him flying with another cry of pain. Gohan gathered every bit of stamina he had left and flipped over to land and skid on his feet, before collapsing to his knees. Recoome chuckled as he landed on the ground only a few feet from the young warrior.
Gohan gasped for breath as he came to an unfortunate realization…He couldn’t win, despite how much power he had gained from his recent Zenkai boost, this Recoome guy still had him beat in strength, power, endurance, and experience.
Gohan thought to himself in frustration, ‘I don’t believe it, this isn’t good…despite all that power gained from last time, and from Mr. Guru…After making it this far, all this time, it’s still not enough to beat one stinking opponent?!’
In spite of the bleak situation, Gohan’s warrior spirit refused to surrender and kept his battle stance at the ready while glaring at the yellow brute.
Recoome was amused, “Hahahaha! Well, look who’s a big man, huh? Hahahahahaha, I gotta tell ya kid, you got spunk! It’s just too bad you decided to stand against Frieza, we could’ve used a young scrap like you on our team!”
He paused for a moment before grinning sinisterly, “Now then…are you ready for Recoome…to show you your doom?!”
…Meanwhile…
Goku, Raditz, ChiChi, and Gine flew across the Namek sea in the direction of the swarming power levels they had detected earlier following their arrival on the planet. They knew without doubt they would find their friends and family among them. However, even with their heading set, they couldn’t ignore the single massive power level that was the highest currently present on Namek. Goku turned towards it, and couldn’t help but sweat at the sinister and dark aura surrounding the massive power level…
“That huge energy, I guess that must be Frieza, am I right?”
“Yeah, yeah that’s him…ngh…” Raditz sweated with his face turning a little blue. The long-haired Saiyan was still new to this whole energy sensing ability, but there was no doubt in his mind that the dark wicked power he felt eclipsing everyone on Namek belonged to his former master. He nervously gritted his teeth as he could detect that Frieza wasn’t the only wicked power level currently present on this planet…
Raditz flinched as sensing this new power brought back painful memories, and deduced who it belonged to, “Great, as if things weren’t bad enough, he called in that infernal Ginyu Force of his!...ngghh!...”
“Ginyu who?” Goku asked, confused.
Gine clarified with a worried expression, “They’re Frieza’s most elite fighting team, five in total, led by their namesake, Captain Ginyu himself. He’s Frieza’s strongest and most loyal henchman, and a complete Brown-noser who is always kissing at his master’s feet. It seems like your father is fighting with him as we speak…”
While it didn’t surprise her that Bardock had engaged Ginyu in battle, there was something else that left Gine confused, “...what’s surprising is that I’m not sensing any others from his team, where’s the rest of the Force?”
Gine was as new to energy sensing as her eldest son was, but her training on King Kai’s planet had allowed her to master the ability to the extent of her youngest son. As such, her senses were more attuned than Raditz, and quickly assessed that not all members of the Ginyu Force were present on Namek. Of course, the group of four from Earth were still unaware of recent events that had preceded their arrival, including the deaths of three members of the mercenary team.
While currently unclear on the details, Raditz still had a theory, “perhaps they split up, and the rest of them are off-world? That’s my first guess.”
Goku was thrilled, “no worries! After all that training, I’m pumped for a good fight! This Captain Ginyu guy feels like he’s really strong, I can’t wait!”
Raditz groaned with irritation, “Can’t you take anything seriously?...”
Gine sighed and muttered, “my boys…one’s overly enthusiastic, the other’s overly cautious…”
Gine chuckled and turned to her daughter-in-law with a grin, “Men, am I right ChiChi? Heeheehee!”
ChiChi however didn’t respond, as her full attention was elsewhere, and Gine cocked her head when she didn’t respond, “ChiChi? Are you alright?”
ChiChi wasn’t trying to be rude, she was just completely distracted as she was lost inside her mind as she assessed for herself all the power levels currently present on this planet. Having just learned this ability, it made the housewife feel uneasy, especially considering how great every one of these power levels felt compared to her, especially the dark wicked one belonging to Frieza. ChiChi knew she was out of her league here, but it didn’t really matter, as only one person mattered to her right now, the one person she had made this trip across space for to begin with.
Suddenly, her new attuned senses locked onto something, and a familiar feeling washed over ChiChi. Having gotten used to sensing Goku, Gine and Raditz’s energy on the spaceship, ChiChi knew what she was feeling the moment she had detected it, especially since it made it feel rather…maternal. Her motherly instincts told her without doubt that who she was sensing was indeed her own son!
ChiChi went wide-eyed crying out, “GOHAN!”
Gine, Goku, and Raditz all jumped at her sudden outburst, staring at ChiChi altogether. The housewife’s attention however was on her son, and could feel that something was wrong! Gohan’s energy felt uneasy, something was hurting him…or rather Someone! Gohan was being attacked!
ChiChi’s expression went steel and she clenched her jaw, “My baby!”
Pulling from a currently unknown well of power, ChiChi jetted off at a speed that astounded her family, unaware she was capable of a feat even at her current level of training. Goku, Raditz, and Gine were flabbergasted…until they picked up with their own senses what caused ChiChi to fly off in the first place! Gine and Raditz gasped, and Goku growled under his breath. Apparently another member of this ‘Ginyu Force’ was here on this planet after all, and worse, he was currently hurting his son!
Goku took off at top speed after his wife, followed by Gine and Raditz, heading in the same direction where they hoped to make it in time to save Gohan!
…One minute ago with Bardock vs Ginyu…
In the sky above Frieza’s spaceship, Bardock and Ginyu were still going at it. Their fight was reaching its peak as the Saiyan rebel and purple-faced captain continued to trade punches and kicks. Bardock’s most recent Zenkai along with his highly trained and intuitive battle instincts allowed him to match Ginyu’s fluid and flashy fighting style blow-for-blow.
Despite his earlier ire at Bardock’s power level now nearly reaching his own, Captain Ginyu was thrilled with the challenge the elder Saiyan was giving him compared to their first fight. This was the first time in Ginyu’s life as Frieza’s right-hand enforcer that he had been pushed to his limits not once, but twice in the same day. Between the two warriors however, Bardock’s natural fighting skill and years of battlefield experience gave him a clear advantage over Ginyu in many regards, allowing him to drive the leader back as their fight took them to the ground outside the ship.
While not one to slack off on training, Captain Ginyu’s fighting style, while effective, was rudimentary at best, allowing Bardock to easily counter any and all attacks the leader threw at him. It was one of the primary reasons Bardock had not already been beaten by Ginyu despite the slight difference in power, and was now pushing Frieza’s right-hand goon toward the ground. A dust cloud kicked up upon them reaching the Namek terrain, and Bardock only increased the attack intensity even further, though he still refraining from using his Kaio-Ken.
Bardock threw a heavy blow which Ginyu ducked under, before the captain released a kick that sent Bardock flying away, prone in the air. Bardock groaned under his breath, now completely fed up with getting tossed around like a rag doll and was ready to give Ginyu his inevitable comeuppance. Suddenly, he halted in midair having detected three new significantly high powers that had just arrived on Planet Namek, and sighed with relief as he quickly recognized them.
“Well, it’s about time,” Bardock softly muttered.
Captain Ginyu charged again from below, only to be stopped by a single arm block from Bardock, and the Saiyan countered with a double hit, knocking the leader away. Ginyu floated back while rubbing his sore areas to soothe the pain. He scowled at his opponent who threw him a smirk.
“What’s wrong Purple-Puss? Not winning as easily as you thought?” Bardock taunted, “Maybe you should have just stayed where you were in the first place, then you wouldn’t be dealing with all this pain and humiliation right now…hehehe…”
Captain Ginyu snarled with intensity at his mockery, clenching his fists real tight, while having recalled saying similar words to Bardock in their last fight, but the Saiyan wasn't finished yet…
“Oops, did I say pain and humiliation? Sorry, I forgot to add anguish and comeuppance to the list as well, hehehe…”
“You think you're really funny do you?!” Ginyu shouted, “Well, we’ll see who gets the last laugh after this!”
Ginyu charged at Bardock with a high power rush, and the Saiyan rebel took it in on in full, clashing with the captain as their burst zone smash caused the spaceship isle beneath them to shake and churn the surrounding water. A quick burst attack followed by one final clash between their forearms caused an aftershock which rattled the entire area. Bardock and Ginyu slightly retreated to catch their breath in midair.
“Gasp…gasp…that’s the spirit!” Bardock muttered aloud, “Guess that’s the one thing we have in common, Ginyu, we’re always willing to fight it out to the bitter end, no matter what.”
“Agreed…gasp…” Ginyu said before straightening up, “Though don't think you're walking away from this one, you Relic! Soon enough you’ll fold, and then…I’ll do what I should have done the last time!”
“Dream on!” Bardock yelled, “you had your chance and you blew it! Now, it’s my turn…”
“In your own words, Dream on!” Ginyu shouted with a shaking fist, “it’s time for you to feel the full might of the Ginyu Force, Bardock, so get ready! The finale is just around the bend! HAH!...”
Ginyu pulled off yet another ridiculous fighting pose, causing Bardock to groan but not lose focus. Charged at full power, Ginyu once again rushed at the Saiyan rebel, only to be intercepted by a blow to the face! Bardock was shocked at seeing Ginyu kicked in his left cheek by a white-cladded boot, propelling the leader away where he crashed into the nearby lakebed with a spectacular Splash.
Bardock turned and sneered at who did it, with Vegeta throwing him an arrogant smirk in rebuttal.
“Whoops sorry, did I take your turn? Please forgive me, hehehehehehe…” Vegeta mocked as he set his feet on the ground.
“What the blazes are you doing here, you brat?!” Bardock shouted, “I have this fully under control, I need your help as much as I need to see another stupid fighting pose!”
Vegeta scoffed before pointing out, “nice to see that despite going soft, you still have your Saiyan pride. Or maybe, you just want to look good for your family, by taking out Captain Ginyu? I know they’re here, I sensed them the moment they landed, your two bratty sons, and that infernal woman who dared to blast me in the face.”
Bardock’s face tensed with fury and strongly restrained himself from decking the Saiyan Prince in the face for his slurring.
“Keep my family’s names out of your mouth…” he said with a low and clear threatening tone, “...as for beating Ginyu, he’s only the appetizer. You and Frieza are the main course, so I expect collaboration up until only after Frieza is dead and buried, got it?”
Vegeta then scoffed, and replied in the same tone, “Works for me…I can’t wait to have all of you traitorous rejects to myself, after Frieza is annihilated…Then, I can my revenge on all five of you, including that halfling brat!”
Bardock glared and said with venom, “whatever makes you happy, ‘your highness’...”
BOOMMM!!!...
“Still, first things first,” Bardock said upon seeing who had returned out of the explosion of water, and landed on the terrain ahead of them: A fuming Captain Ginyu who angrily glared at the Saiyan prince who blindsided him.
“VEGETA!!!...You dirty rotten snake!...No one blindsides me and gets away with it! NOBODY!”
Vegeta chuckled, “poor Ginyu, you’re far from the first one who’s ever threatened me like that, and you're about to find out what became of all the others soon enough.”
Captain Ginyu growled, “where in the world are Burter and Jeice?! Those dolts! They should have taken care of you!”
Vegeta chuckled again, “oh please…Burter and Jeice?...right, I barely had to lift a finger in dealing with them, before I sent them to meet your other deceased comrade in the next life.”
“WHAT?!!” Captain Ginyu shouted as he looked like he was gonna burst a blood vessel. He quickly activated his scouter to scan for his red-skinned lieutenant and the blue-cladded speedster. To his horror, he came up empty!
“No…No way…it’s…it’s not possible…” stuttered a sweatdropping Captain Ginyu, only to be interrupted again by Vegeta’s laughter.
“Funny, that’s exactly what Jeice said right before I did away with him. I can see where he learned it from, shocker,” Vegeta said while smirking.
Ginyu’s worried expression then turned into one of livid rage, upon realizing that the traitorous monkey was now responsible for wiping out more than half his most elite fighting team! It was a humiliation to him, Frieza, and most of all their image, that a Saiyan monkey had crippled the most powerful fighting squad in the universe. He refused to allow this to stand, even if it cost him everything else!
“Why-y-y…you-u-u…how dare you…HOW DARE YOU!!!...You miserable little Saiyan rat! No one makes a mockery of the Ginyu Force and gets away with it! You hear me?! NOBODY!!!!”
Vegeta just continued to chuckle, as Ginyu’s tantrum did little to nothing to him, save for providing some amusement, “Mockery? Like you fools have ever needed my help for that. Have you ever looked in a mirror whenever you're pulling off your ridiculous poses?! Your luck has now run out, my dear Captain Ginyu, so get ready to rejoin your pitiful minions, in Hell!”
Captain Ginyu’s rage had reached its peak, and he declared in a threatening manner, “Vegeta…you…will…PAYYY!!!”
Now fighting solo, Captain Ginyu dashed toward Vegeta and Bardock, ready to continue. The two Saiyans stood battle ready as the captain of the once formidable Ginyu Force engaged them. The initial clash resulted in a blinding flash followed by a rumbling thundercrack, which drowned out the screams of a certain green-skinned warrior inside the spaceship, who had earlier entered the vessel in search of the lost dragonballs, only to experience a horrific sight.
…Currently with Gohan vs Recoome…
Gohan fell to his knees, as his stamina and energy were now running dry, and his larger opponent appeared to have not lost any steam. If anything the yellow brute only appeared more energized from fighting with the young Half-Saiyan.
‘I don’t know…how much longer…I can keep this up…Piccolo…Krillin…Grandpa…everyone…I can’t…let them down…’
A fear-stricken Gohan gasped for breath while ahead of him, Recoome chuckled with his idiotic grin before deciding to give his young opponent his final goodbye, “looks like you're all out of gas Little Man, oh well, it was fun while it lasted!”
Recoome took a stance and folded his arms above his head, “I’ll make it quick! A nice thank you for a really good fight! Haha!”
Recoome called out his finishing move and opened his mouth wide, “RECOOME…ERASER GUN!”
A pink glow slowly developed in Recoome’s gaping mouth, a glow of death. Gohan glared at Recoome and tried to move away but he was too exhausted. He remained frozen in place as Recoome prepared to unleash his energy beam.
Sadness and fear paralyzed the young warrior, as Gohan knew he wouldn’t survive this final attack, and he was upset that he had failed to last long enough to see Piccolo brought back to life. Gohan sniffled with tears in his eyes, not wanting to die, as the yellow brute prepared to release the deadly energy stream from his mouth…until a heavy kick came straight down on top of Recoome’s head, slamming his mouth shut!
BOOM!...“GYAHH!!”
The failed Eraser Gun exploded in Recoome’s mouth, shattering most of his remaining teeth before the brute’s eyes rolled back into his skull and he fell over on his back with a solid thud.
Gohan heard the commotion, but before he could lift his head up to see, he suddenly found himself pulled off the ground and into a tight compression. At first he was frightened, until he instantly realized the feeling that came with it was warm and comforting. He finally looked up, and for the first time in over a month, he cried upon seeing a familiar, loving, and long-missed face…“M-Mommy?”
ChiChi gazed upon her beaten and battered child with tearful yet relieved eyes. Her lower lip quivered before she gave her son a tight squeeze, “Gohan…”
A moment of silence followed, and the reunited mother and son finally broke into tears upon tightly embracing, “MOMMY!...GOHAN!”
Despite all that had occurred in the past year which had forced Gohan into training to become a warrior, one thing hadn’t changed, he was still a child, barely only five years old. Mother and son enjoyed their moment like nothing else existed, until it was horribly interrupted with the sound of a stomping boot. Gohan and ChiChi’s eyes snapped open as they turned in terror toward the source…
“What the blazing hell was that?!” Recoome shouted as he stood back on his feet with frustration, with smoke billowing out of his burned and broken mouth, “...that was a cheap shot Lady!”
He pointed at them before he continued, “you gotta wait your turn! I’m not done fighting with that kid yet! Once he’s dead, I’ll fight you next, if you wanna…Recoome fights anybody, man, woman, or brat! Makes no difference to me, now step aside so I can finish what I started…”
Recoome attempted to grab Gohan, but ChiChi quickly leaped them away out of his reach, confusing the yellow brute, “what the?!”
ChiChi landed on the ground a few yards away and set her son down behind her before shooting Recoome a death glare while taking a fighting stance, “you’re not laying another hand on my son! Not as long as I’m here to protect him, you creep!”
Gohan groaned, still in pain, “no…Mommy…please, don’t…”
The boy sadly couldn’t stand, as his energy and stamina were spent. His concern for his mother quickly escalated, knowing that the Ginyu Forcer would make short work of her should he get even a single hand on her. Even without a scouter, Recoome easily could tell she stood no chance against him, and laughed, “Hahahahahaha! Are you serious?! I may have said I’d fight you, but how long do you think you’ll last, Lady? You’re super weak-looking to me! Hehehehe…”
ChiChi tightened her stance, remaining silent as she angrily glared at the brute who dared to hurt her son. Recoome just sighed and shrugged, “alright then, it’s your funeral…”
Despite being clearly outmatched, ChiChi stood fortified in defense of her son, until Recoome charged her with his right arm raised as he prepared another attack…“Say goodbye Lady! RECOOME…HAMMER-Ooofff!”
Recoome was suddenly intercepted by a surprise blow that came from the side, sending him crashing into a cliff, which collapsed on top of him following the impact. ChiChi saw the whole thing and was baffled, until she turned her head and her once tense face instantly lightened up. A loving smile etched onto her face at who had come to her rescue.
A groggy Gohan was confused, unable to get a clear view of what was going on, until a gentle feminine hand reached down to his mouth and pushed a Senzu into it. The boy instinctively chewed and swallowed, feeling his energy and strength instantly return. All the pain and previous damage from his earlier fight had left his body, and he turned his head to see that his grandmother and uncle had joined him.
Gine smiled with loving warmth at her grandson, “Gohan!...How’s my adorable little grandson? You certainly look stronger! Heeheehee!”
Raditz respectfully nodded to the boy, “Nephew…”
Gohan smiled at the familiar faces, “Grandma Gine, Uncle Raditz, you made it! It’s so great to see you again…Gasp! Grandpa and the others, they’re-”
“We know, we know,” Raditz calmly nodded and interjected before holding his hand out to Gine, “Mom, give me the rest of the Senzus, I’ll rush over to dad and give him and the others one too.”
Gine nodded as she assessed what she sensed in the distance, “It feels like Krillin’s power is nearly gone. You should find him first and give him one, then meet up with your father.”
Raditz nodded back, took the Senzu bag into his hand, and flew off toward Bardock’s location at top speed. Gohan watched his uncle as he flew away, before turning around to see his mother now standing further away, greeting someone else who had arrived. Gohan’s face lit up at the sight of his father standing next to his mother with a smile on his face.
“DADDY!”
Goku and ChiChi both turned and smiled at their son, before the Earthbound Saiyan chuckled, “Hey Son! Wow, Gohan you’ve gotten so big in only a month, guess it must be that Namek air?”
Gohan didn’t respond, instead he stood up and ran as fast as he could toward his parents, leaping into their arms simultaneously before embracing one another. Finally, for the first time in a long time, the Son family had fully reunited, and this time, no one was grievously injured. Gohan lost himself in his parents embrace as Goku and ChiChi held their son together while touching their foreheads intimately.
Gine slowly approached the tender moment with a big smile on her face, overcome with joy at seeing her youngest son and his family together. She was suddenly surprised as two hands courtesy of Goku and ChiChi pulled the mother Saiyan into the hug as well! Gine’s smile turned from jovial to gentle, allowing herself to take in the moment with her son, grandson, and daughter-in-law.
Sadly, all good things came to an end when a ki blast came out of nowhere and fired right at them!
Gine responded instantly, firing a blast of her own to intercept it, causing it to explode a few feet away from them, kicking up wind. Goku, ChiChi and Gohan shielded their faces from the dust, before turning to glare at who had rudely interrupted their family moment. Recoome was now back on his feet again, standing up out of the rubble he had been buried under, with all the guards now shattered from his cracked and ruined armor.
Despite that, Recoome was still itching to fight, “Hey! They’ll be none of that, you sappy sentimental dopes! Now quit with the hugging, and let’s get back to fighting!”
Gohan, Gine, and ChiChi all took fighting stances, but Recoome quickly brushed them off, “I didn’t mean any of you! I wanna fight Mister Cheap Shot in the Orange Shirt!”
The two women and child all turned toward Goku. The Earthbound Saiyan was surprisingly calm, before turning to give a gentle nod toward his wife and his mother. They nodded back with the same response, before Goku playfully ruffled Gohan’s hair before turning back toward the Ginyu Forcer. All kindness left his face, now replaced with a fierce and quiet glare.
Recoome could only chuckle at the expression, “oooh, I’m so scared…but it’s gonna take more than a mean face to win this fight.”
Goku started walking toward Recoome, not breaking stride as he approached the yellow brute without even an ounce of fear. The idiot continued running his mouth, “you think you’re such hot stuff don’t ya?! You’re gonna regret carelessly just walking up to a member of the Ginyu Force, you cheapskate!”
Goku muttered, without raising his voice, “KA…”
Recoome raised a brow, “what are you mumbling about? Chanting a little prayer before I stomp ya?”
Goku muttered the second syllable, “ME…”
Recoome scoffed, “give me a break! Is that supposed to be some sort of pathetic attack? Puh-lease, at least the kid had the gall to scream his guts out when I was pummeling him!”
Goku’s glare intensified, “HA…”
Recoome set himself into a stance, charging all his power into his core, “let me show you how a real attack works! Like this…RECOOME…”
Goku was now pretty much ignoring the boisterous prick at this time, muttering the next to last part, “ME…”
Recoome shouted out his ultimate finisher as Goku was now in spitting distance of him, “...ULTRA…FIGHTING-G-G…”
Recoome yelled out at the top of lungs just as Goku stopped right in front of him, “BOMB-”
“HAAAAA!!!!!...” Goku threw his hands right in Recoome’s face just before he finished speaking his final word. A monstrous energy blast erupted from Goku’s palms, enveloping the Ginyu Force brute completely in its overwhelming maw. The attack flew across the Namek landscape, wiping out a few islands in its path before flying into space. From a distant view, it looked as if Namek had fired a ki-blast into the cosmos.
Gohan, ChiChi, and Gine stood by, trembling at the residual force following the intense blast they had all witnessed with their own eyes. The smoke soon cleared away, and Goku remained with his hands thrusted out where he stood. However, there was no trace of Recoome at all. The brute had been completely annihilated by Goku’s attack, with the echo of his unfinished attack silenced by the wind.
Goku stood up straight and took a deep breath before turning around to face his gob smacked family, his expression quickly changing from serious to jovial, “Awesome! Nice to see all that heavy gravity training up to 100G really paid off. Now, what do you say we all go find dad and the rest?”
Immediately, the family perked back up and nodded at the suggestion. Goku chuckled before taking the lead as he flew into the air, “come on guys! Let’s get going!”
The Son family members all flew away, heading in the direction of Frieza’s spaceship, where the last member of the Ginyu Force remained…
